Privacy Policy

Our Company respects the privacy of our website visitors. Our Mission to being the most professional, ethical, and highest quality funeral and cemetery service organization in the death care industry extends to this Privacy Policy ("Policy"), and we want to ensure that our website visitors know how we collect, use, and protect personal, and other, information.

This Policy applies to personally-identifying information provided by website users, including personally-identifying information collected from any mobile applications. This Policy does not apply to personally-identifying information that website visitors provide to a business partner or third party, even if such business partner or third party is linked to our website.

When you use this site, you agree to the Policy that follows. If you do not agree with this Policy or our Terms of Service, you should immediately cease use of this website.

We do not collect personally-identifying information from users unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

The types of information we may collect are, among other things:

if you purchase flowers or other Tributes, we may collect credit card and other necessary financial data for those purchases.
